Good day, guys, I'm hoping to find a freewheel remover that doesn't need a lot of force, and I saw this. It's advertised as a "Bottom bracket and freewheel remover". I kinda get the BB part, but with the freewheel, I don't really get how it works hahaha. Can someone enlighten me if this is really a freewheel remover, and if yes, how do you use it?
If not, am I really left with no choice but to hammer those holes (dunno what they're called) hahaha
Advice and recommendations are very much appreciated.
Thanks guys!

It is a freewheel remover, but used wrong. you cannot remove a freewheel by spinning the cog, since it will spin freely if you turn it the right way to remove it.
The pins go into the two little pin holes you see at the top of the freewheel.
And a freewheel remover that doesnt need much force… is kinda difficult? you can use a longer lever, but at the end you will need a bit of torque to remove it, because you kinda tighten the freewheel by cycling.
